I., on Friday last. The locomotive plunged into the river, where the bridge had been swept away. BLUE RIDGE SCRIP. Chief Justice Moses has delivered his opinion, which declares the issue of this scrip illegal, aud concludes his argument by. saying, "if the issue of the scrip by the State Treasury involves the State in arty obligation to the holders, the duty rests with the Legislature, not the courts, to declare how it shall be met." BANK OF THE ST A TE HILLS. Mr. Justice Hunt delivered the opin ion in the case of Theodore Wagner vs. J. R. Stoll, Treasurer of Charleston, that the taxes of 1870 were required to be paid iu specie, cr bills of specie pay ing banks, and that tbe collector was jus tifiable in refusing tbe tender of Bank of the State bills." A JUST CAUSE FOR ALARM. Governor Leslie, of Kentucky, in a a message to tbe Legislature of that Com monwealth, says: "The cause of the people of Louisiana is our cause, for their danger is our dan ger. The bitter cup which they drink to-day may be soon com mended to out lips. To abandon her is to abandon tbe common cause of State Rights. If the great wrong which has been perpetrated against her shall pass unchallenged and unr-. dressed now, it may serve as a pre cedent to render resistance to similar en croachments more difficult in the future**' The cause of the people of Louisiana is the cause of every State of the Union. Tho interference of federal power there to enforce p. biased deereo to the detri ment of one class of its citizens, for the protection of another which scruples at no tyranny too base, or no acts too venal to enrich its partv, is but an exchange of federal strength for favors received from it* supporters. It is the game of "you fickle the and I'll tickle you." It is a condition of a flairs which repudiates any claims of worth or loyalty, such as Rudi calism may not impose. It demolishes law and equity, and overturns liberty with the blow it aims at any party other than ifci own. President Graut in his expressions,'declared that tho welfare of tho entire country, wo?'.d bo striven for in his executive capacity. How has ho redeemed his promises. By clogging the wheels of State Government, by muzzling the judiciary, and by bringing ruin and coufusion upon one-halfj?f the country. The dogma of "State Bights''* was the Lernan monster, that required the Her culean strcath of tho world to destroy. It is again invoked as the oracle of desti ny to lead the Union locked States from their maze of bewilderment. "States Rights" appealed to a convention of peers to rectify usurpation. Those peers denounced its complaints as treason, and cut loose from their sheet anchor, in their zeal to chastise one bold champion of right. Now the iron .heel is set heavily on their uecks, and national prido is ex changed .or a degradation of humiliation which knows no equal among the nations of the world. The States vested so much of their sovereignty in a general govern ment, as was deemed compatible with the mutual interests. In relinquishing their inherent rights as the parties most affected, they placed themselves iu the power of a party. It is only for the cir cumstance of political change to occur, to make Kentucky or Massachusetts feel what. . Louisiana, and South Carolina V . ft* realizes to.day as fettered provinces. ' VULNERABLE. To raise the wind, confidential circu lars were sent ;mt from Washington to all the postmasters, requesting a remit tance in envelopes enclosed to aid iu elect ing General Grant to 1 the presidency. Of course these met a general response, and the swindlers were largely repaid for their ingenuity. At any other time than the present such a miserable attempt to deceive would have been* suspected, but as it is well understood that office is maintained only by bribery and corrup tion, the scheme was quite au fait. Ap pointee or employee is expected to sub scribe his quota to elect the party nonii neo, or the bead of tho refuser goes to the block. It is only necessary to make j the demand, and the price of refusal is a loss of place. However, this is not in timidation ; but let a laborer be told at I tho South, that he will bo discharged if he votes for a villain to fob and oppress his employer, and it is interfering with civil rights, and a severe penalty is an nexed. Liberty forever. [FItOM OVIt CIIAK1.KSTON COItUESrONDENT.] Charleston Letter. Charleston, April 30, 1873. Iu the long past but uever-to-be-for gotten Ante bellum days, the great event of tho Summer season was undoubtedly the "Fourth," and dim indeed must be the memory of that, man who does not recollect the great national festival with its attendant speeches, martial display* and patriotic explosions?but the wur which obliterated so many things of the pnst, may be said to have also extinguish ed in a great measuro with us, tho cole hratiou of tho American jubilee, and what more natural, than in the absence of a fete of our own wo should console ourselves with that of another people, and in the pleasures and amusements of tho Sch?tzenfest vent those enthusiastic feel ings lavished of yore on the Aniversary of American Independence. Since the close of the war, owing to what has been above suited, the "German shooting fes tival" has increased in importance until at length it ranks as the most popular holiday of the year to the votaries of pleasure in our city. The old "festivals" of the Fatherland, from which this is cop-, ied nrejof ancient institution, so old indeed that it would puzzle an Antiquarian to determine precisely when thoy commen ced, before the invention ol gun powder tho archers probably amused themselves with bows, as tho rifleoteu now do with their guns ; it is concerning one of these latter gentry, "The Ire-j shooter," that the famous old German legend is told, which relates that he made an interest ing, but slightly disastrous compact with the evil one, who provided him with sev en balls, six would infallibly hit what ever the marksman chotc to aim at, but the seventh was to be governed entirely according to tho will of his satanic maj esty, the story is more interestingly told in the form of a well known opera "Dei Freischutz." Much noise is necessary to awaken your slumbering "deutscher," "his sleep i may be''-that of the just but it is anything but light. Accordingly, our festival was opened .by a noisy salute from cannon,' soon the streets were lively with Rifle men, and tho parade oh Monday through' I tho principal ^streets was, undoubtedly. I the grandest display of military seen here, for eight or ten years, and formed oxo unbroken line of a*, least a half milo long, of twelve hundred strong men.?j Composed of fifteen organizations of dif ferent kinds, including three companies of mounted 'men. and one bf Zounves who in their picturesque costumes, added much to tho display. About the centre of the column a triumphal car surmount ed by a canopy of flowers, excited the admiration of the spectators, aud its freight load of little girls, robed in white, and decked wjtli green garlands, threw an indiscribable air of beauty and inno cence over the entire scene. A delega tion from the Savannah eliib, appeared to advantage in theii neat grey suits trim med with green. Our own Grrmau club, about two hundred strong, brought up the rear; the entire body being under the command of Capt. Melchers ol (he G. R. C, (this we know not only from herCsay, but he had two feathers in his hat, where as the other officers displayed but one.) Several of the clubs were out in new uni form, that of die ^'Sumter's" ? deserves especial notice as being the' most tasty of them all, tho costume of our old State cadets?a large portion of the men car ried the "Winchester Riflle" eighteen shooters, and perhaps the most deadly v/eapon yet invented, not even excepting the much talkc.d of needle g?n. The mu sic, was good, and in abundance, and was judiciously (distributed along the lipe. So soon as the head of the column reach ed thcS. C. R. R. cars were in waiting for tbe Sch?tzenfest grounds, where speeches and lager were served ad'libi tum, and the live days target practice commenced. The grounds owned by the German Rifle Club, are pleasantly situa ted on the bauks of the Ashley; and are beautified by many of those noble moss covered oakes, the pride of our low coun try, and perhaps the most graceful looking tree in tbe world. A telegram was sent on Monday by Capt. Melchers, to the German Emperor, stating that twelve hundred men were under arms, and sent greetings; what purported to be an an swer to this was found the next day pla carded about the streets, and contaiued n reply, in substance, that had his imperial majesty known what was taking place, he would certainly have attended in per son?and ended with the information that tbe Queen and "our Fritz" were both well, and sent affectionate remem brance. The amusements at tho fest were va-. ried this year by a "punch and judy show." Tbe rope walker came to grief during the early part of tbe celebration, and the poor fellow In? been enjoying the hospitalities of the City Hospital, in stead of amusing the public. The usual amusements, tuch as dancing, nine pin rolling, &c, were well patronized.' Un der the head of novelties we may mention that our energetic "News and Courier" paper, established direct telegraphic com munication with the schutzenfest, and items of interest were transmitted almost as soon as they ?ccuricd. Appropos of newspapers, we understand that "Re porters" are to be furnished witn a kind of cartriuge box attacned to a belt around their waist, this machine is to contain a telegraphic apparatus,and the Reporters are to be able, while reaming about the country collecting nous, by merely at taching one end of a piece wire to their box, and the other end to the already established line of wires along the Rail Roads,?to be in constant correspondence with tbe main offices and to show a per fect disregard for all such old fashioned systems of communication as the U. S. mails now provide. On Friday the last day of the fest the king or best marksman was crowned, and tbe prizes, many of them articles of val ue, distributed, amid strains of music and deafening cheers, the orator of tbe day poured fourth his rounded sentences to the listening multitude, and the ceiobration Wiu closed about 0 o'clock by the dis charge of artillery. Everybody moved homewards, at least all thoso who could, aud tho rest were taken in charge by friends, to the credit of the fest just closud we can say, that the duties of the 'friends' were light, and tho consideration and good nature with which everybody treated everybody else, was in perfect keeping with the well known peaceful and order loving character of our German people. We are unable to close without stating that your county wa3 ably represented in the poison of a valiant Colonel, who interviewed the Captain of the fest and displayed tho high degree of drinking powers to which his countrymen had at tained in the consumption of a couple dozen of champagne more or less.
